Rana Mitter, professor of American-Asian relations at Harvard University's Kennedy School, told reporters that the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was a "very important part" of the World Anti-Fascist War and China's contribution to World War II should be more visible.

Mitter said that after the Lugou Bridge Incident on July 7, 1937, Japan's war of aggression against China was in full swing. At the time, most foreign observers thought China's chances of victory were slim, but China put up a determined fight and the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression "changed everything."

Mitter is the author of China, the Forgotten Ally: The Complete History of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in My Eyes. In his view, after Japan launched a full-scale war of aggression against China, China's stubborn resistance was of great importance. Millions of Japanese soldiers were sent to the Chinese front rather than to other parts of the Asia-Pacific region. Without China's contribution, it would have been "especially difficult" to achieve a common victory for the anti-fascist coalition.

BEIJING, Sept. 5 (Xinhua) — Correctly understanding the history of World War II, resolutely safeguarding the post-war world order, firmly upholding international impartiality and justice, preventing the resurgence of fascism and preventing the repetition of historical tragedies are the best way to honor the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War and a common responsibility that all countries should shoulder, a think tank said in a report released Friday.

The report, titled “Historical Retrospect, Upholding Justice – The Great Contribution of the Main Theater of War in the East to the World Anti-Fascist War,” was published by the Xinhua Institute, a think tank affiliated with the news agency of the same name.

This year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War.

According to the report, revealing the historical truth is a prerequisite for better creation of the future. Currently, there are still misconceptions in the approach to the history of World War II. Only by respecting history and advocating an objective and fair position can we deeply understand and learn from historical experience and open the way to the future.

The report stresses the need to resolutely oppose erroneous views and actions aimed at justifying aggression and distorting history, objectively present a complete picture of the World Anti-Fascist War, and correctly recognize the historical contributions of the peoples of the world and the Chinese people.

The Second World War profoundly changed the world order and the course of human history. Faced with the catastrophic consequences of military action, various countries made every effort to avoid new wars and maintain peace. Thanks to these efforts, international organizations and mechanisms, with the UN at their core, were gradually created and fundamental norms governing international relations were established. This played an important role in maintaining global peace over the next 8 decades, the report notes.

The document also calls for strong support for a UN-centric international system, the continued promotion of an equitable and orderly multipolar world, and the continued promotion of equitable and inclusive economic globalization.

It also stresses the need to vigilantly confront the resurgence of fascism, implement genuine multilateralism and promote the formation of a fairer and more reasonable system of global governance in order to firmly uphold international justice. -0-

On September 4, the China Film International Cinema in Beijing hosted the premiere of the Chinese-Russian film "Red Silk". The premiere was attended by Deputy Director of the Propaganda Department of the CPC Central Committee, General Director of China Media Corporation Shen Haixiong, Executive Vice Director of the State Film Administration of the People's Republic of China Mao Yu, Chairperson of the Board of Directors of the Russian National Media Group Alina Kabaeva and Russian Ambassador to China Igor Morgulov.

In the 76 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Russia, humanitarian exchanges and cooperation between the two countries have continued to deepen. Cinema, as a means of interlingual communication and a cultural conductor, serves as an important connecting node that promotes emotional resonance between the two peoples and preserves common historical memory. On September 1, the 2025 Russian Film Festival kicked off simultaneously in Beijing, Xining (Qinghai Province) and Lanzhou (Gansu Province). The film "Red Silk" is a concrete step towards implementing the initiative of the heads of state on cultural exchanges and promoting cooperation in the field of cinematography within the framework of the Cross Years of Culture between China and Russia in 2024-2025.

In his speech, Fu Ruoqing, Chairman of China Film Group, said that the film "Red Silk" is an important testimony to the cultural exchange and mutual learning, as well as the deepening friendship between China and Russia. He expressed hope to continue cooperation with Russian filmmakers, using cinema to inject new vitality into Sino-Russian cultural exchanges.

In her speech, Svetlana Balanova, President of the Russian National Media Group, expressed gratitude to the Chinese side. She said that the Red Silk project will undoubtedly become a model of cultural exchange and mutual learning between China and Russia, laying a solid foundation for deepening cultural integration between the two countries.

At the event, dozens of key creators of the film "Red Silk" from China and Russia took to the stage.

The film, which previously received high praise from critics and was a box office success upon its release in Russia, is being called a project that “blazes a Silk Road for Chinese-Russian joint film production.” Its appearance on Chinese screens will not only allow more Chinese viewers to experience the charm of Russian culture, but will also further strengthen the friendship between the peoples of both countries.

Fruitful exchanges in the film industry have taken place between China and Russia this year. In May, the "2025 Chinese Film Festival" was successfully held in Moscow, Kazan and St. Petersburg, and the "2025 Russian Film Festival" is currently being held in China. The release of "Red Silk" in China is the latest achievement of the fruitful cooperation between filmmakers of the two countries. Film industry representatives from both countries intend to take this opportunity to further strengthen creative exchanges and deepen cooperation in film production. They are eager to create more joint films that combine content, artistry and entertainment, thereby giving new impetus to Sino-Russian people-to-people exchanges and the development of a comprehensive strategic partnership between the two countries in the new era.

The film "Red Silk" will be released in Chinese cinemas on September 6.

GUANGZHOU, Sept. 5 (Xinhua) — A train carrying electronic products made in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area departed from the West Zengcheng Railway Station in Guangzhou City, south China's Guangdong Province, on Thursday. The arrival of the freight train, which runs weekly on the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan multimodal transportation route, in Uzbekistan marks the improvement of the efficiency and smoothness of the new international logistics channel linking the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and member states of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO).

Li Siqiang, a representative of Guangzhou Jiaotou International Train Operation and Management Co., Ltd., said that about 30 standard containers depart from Zengcheng Station every week and are transported along the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan multimodal freight route, a combination of rail and road transportation. Compared with the traditional route, where containers leave China via Horgos, the transportation time via the multimodal route can be shortened by more than 2 days, and the transportation cost of each container can be reduced by at least 500 yuan (about 70 US dollars).

On May 12, the first container train to operate on the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan multimodal transportation route departed from Zengcheng West Railway Station. The goods were delivered by rail to Kashgar North Railway Station /Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Northwest China/, and then transferred to road transport and, leaving the country through the Irkeshtam checkpoint, arrived in Uzbekistan.

As of August this year, more than 470 standard containers of cargo, with a total value of over 60 million yuan, have been shipped from Zengcheng West Railway Station along the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan route.

Currently, there are daily trains departing from Guangzhou on China-Europe routes, which cover many SCO member states such as Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan. These routes have become an important trade and economic corridor connecting the Greater Bay Area with Eurasia.

According to Huangpu Customs, the value of goods shipped from Zengcheng West Railway Station to other SCO member countries reached nearly 4 billion yuan from January to August 2025. -0-

BEIJING, Sept. 5 (Xinhua) — At China's steel mills, noisy factory floors are giving way to intelligent systems where control centers analyze production data streams in real time, artificial intelligence (AI) adjusts furnace temperatures based on the situation, and robots spot defects with pinpoint accuracy.

For industry veterans, the transformation is astounding, and experts say it shows how cutting-edge technology is breathing new life into traditional sectors.

“As a cutting-edge technology in the digital era, AI offers new hope for breaking through long-standing bottlenecks in the steel industry,” said Zhang Longqiang, head of the China Institute of Metallurgical Information and Standardization. He added that intelligent algorithms are already driving progress in process optimization, quality control and supply chain management.

Data from the China Iron and Steel Association shows that 95.1 percent of Chinese steel enterprises have incorporated digital transformation strategies into their overall development plans, 82.9 percent have established centralized intelligent control centers, and 63.4 percent have adopted 3D visualization and simulation systems to build digital factories.

Steel companies are also using AI to advance their green transition. The group’s upgraded carbon-neutral digital platform, HBIS, designed as a multi-functional and multi-scenario intelligent system, provides accurate energy consumption forecasting and can double the efficiency of carbon demand analysis.

Looking ahead, Wang Guodong, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, stressed that the steel industry should accelerate the integration of industrial internet, big data and AI technologies; move from end processing to source control and whole-process control with elements of human-machine interaction and autonomous unmanned operations; and make coordinated progress in reducing carbon emissions, reducing pollution, expanding green development and achieving sustainable growth.

From factory floors to farmland to service centers, AI initiatives are spreading across China’s economy. Drones are streamlining logistics in Shenzhen, southern China’s Guangdong Province, AI-powered robots are helping manage greenhouses in eastern China’s Shandong, and intelligent voice systems in Hefei, the capital of eastern China’s Anhui Province, are serving users around the world. These elements of China’s AI development highlight the country’s advantages in rich data resources, a mature industrial system, and wide application scenarios.

China's State Council recently released a set of guidelines for promoting the AI initiative, providing a systematic action plan for the application of AI in various sectors and supporting high-quality socio-economic development.

Experts say the AI initiative marks a new stage in the digital revolution. Zhong Xinlong, a researcher at the China Information Industry Development Center, made a powerful analogy: If the last decade was about building a vast information superhighway, the next decade will be about deploying countless groups of intelligent agents with decision-making and collaboration capabilities on that highway.

The guidelines propose supporting the creation of open AI communities and the pooling and opening of models, tools and datasets to advance them, which will address key needs of technological innovation and reduce barriers to R&D.

Vice President of AI unicorn MiniMax Yan Yijun said that this will provide a solid foundation for technology-oriented enterprises to conduct R&D, provide development guidance and market space to expand industry solutions and participate in the intelligent transformation of traditional industries, and create more business opportunities and accelerate global cooperation.

According to a statement from China's National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), the implementation of the AI initiative will include introducing supportive policies and accelerating the development of standards for various sectors and industries. It will facilitate major projects such as the development of AI vouchers and encourage demonstration cases by guiding AI model developers, research institutes and leading enterprises to form interdisciplinary teams, while encouraging local governments and companies to explore new development models.

The launch of the initiative is not only a key step in stimulating the creation of productive forces of new quality, but also an inevitable requirement for advancing the digital economy towards an intelligent economy and an intelligent society, said Ho Fupeng, director of the innovation-oriented development center of the State Research and Development Corporation.

As industry experts have noted, what is truly transforming society is not the technology itself, but the depth and breadth of its integration into production and everyday life. As AI permeates a wide range of industries in China and innovation flourishes with institutional support, the systemic restructuring of the country's socio-economic development is gaining momentum. -0-

BEIJING, Sept. 5 (Xinhua) — When the Great Patriotic War began in June 1941, the China theater of the World Anti-Fascist War tied down about 70 percent of the 2.74 million Japanese troops sent abroad, hampering the Japanese army's "move north" strategy and holding back its plan to invade Siberia, a report said Friday.

The report, titled "Historical Retrospect, Upholding Justice – The Great Contribution of the Main Theater of War in the East to the World Anti-Fascist War," was jointly prepared by the Party History and Documentation Research Institute of the CPC Central Committee and the Xinhua Institute, a think tank affiliated with the Xinhua News Agency.

According to the report, the Chinese National War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression tied down Japan's armed forces, interrupted direct cooperation between the fascist forces of Germany, Italy and Japan, and thwarted the plans of Japan and the fascists of Germany and Italy for global domination, which provided powerful support and coordination in other theaters of anti-fascist military operations.

China's protracted war gave anti-fascist countries such as the Soviet Union, the United States and Great Britain valuable time to prepare for war, and China provided them with vital material assistance.

The Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was not only to save the country but also to fulfill its great responsibility in the world anti-fascist front. This fact clearly demonstrates the selfless support China has given to other theaters of war around the world in strategic coordination, military assistance, and material resources. -0-
